F1E3 and F6E7 get identical wording from KitchenAid: a possible fault in the microwave appliance manager or its wiring.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E3 / F6E7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
KitchenAid ties F1E3 and F6E7 to a possible problem with the microwave appliance manager or wiring.
One explanation, two codes
KitchenAid prints the same text beside F1E3 and F6E7: there may be a problem with the Microwave Appliance Manager or its associated wiring. The help page does not give a reason why a unit would show one and not the other. It also leaves open whether they stand for the same fault.
At a glance
| Code | F1E3 / F6E7 |
|---|---|
| What it means | Possible problem with the microwave appliance manager or its wiring. |
| What you can check | Switch off the oven's circuit breaker, wait one minute, switch it on, and watch for F1E3 or F6E7 over the following minute. Then test that the oven operates. |
| When to call a technician | Whichever of the two codes you saw, if it comes back after the reset, arrange a service visit. The part involved is electronic, and no further owner step exists. |
What the part is
The phrase resembles “Oven Appliance Manager Control” and “Lower Oven Appliance Manager”, which appear elsewhere in KitchenAid’s entries. From the names, this manager is tied to the microwave function rather than the oven cavities. KitchenAid itself does not define it, so that is an interpretation of the names. A microwave-specific part also means these codes concern ovens with a microwave.
Reset steps
- Switch off the oven’s circuit breaker.
- Wait for one minute to pass.
- Switch the breaker on.
- Look out for F1E3 or F6E7 over the following minute.
- Test the oven’s operation.
If the code comes back
The page stops after the reset. Because the named part is electronic, a code that returns goes to service. If you have seen each of the two codes at different times, the guidance is no different: reset at the breaker first, then arrange service if either returns.
